Description:

This error code indicates that the supply voltage (BAT) for the Steering Control Unit (AutoTrac™) has dropped below 11 volts. Low supply voltage can cause the unit to function improperly or shut down, impacting the performance of the AutoTrac™ system.

Reaction:

When this error is detected, the control software will limit or disable certain functions to prevent damage and ensure safe operation. This reaction helps maintain the integrity of the steering control system.

Recommendations:

Check Battery Voltage:

• Measure the battery voltage using a multimeter. Ensure it is above 11 volts. Recharge or replace the battery if necessary.

Inspect Electrical Connections:

• Check all electrical connections between the battery and the Steering Control Unit for tightness and cleanliness. Clean or secure connections as needed.

Examine Wiring for Damage:

• Inspect the wiring for any signs of damage, wear, or corrosion. Repair or replace damaged wiring.

Verify Charging System:

• Ensure the vehicle’s charging system (alternator) is functioning correctly and providing adequate voltage to the battery.

Replace Faulty Components:

• If a specific component (e.g., voltage regulator) is identified as faulty, replace it with a manufacturer-approved part.

Note:

Maintaining a stable supply voltage is critical for the reliable operation of the AutoTrac™ system. Regularly check battery health and the overall electrical system to prevent voltage-related issues.
